PEOPLE with visual impairments are invited to an open day to find out about some of the products available to make life easier.
Vane House Sensory Resource Centre has invited HumanWare to showcase some of its products on Thursday.
The company will be demonstrating a range of electronic magnifiers, pocket viewers and reading machines, as well as the MyReader, the world's first low-vision autoreader.
Bryan Thistlethwaite, Darlington Borough Council's cabinet member for adult services, said: "This is a great opportunity for people to find out what technology is available to help them with everyday tasks.
"People will be on hand throughout the day to offer advice to anyone who wants to find out what is on offer."
The centre provides a range of services to blind and partially-sighted people in the area, enabling them to gain knowledge, confidence and skills.
The open day is held from 10am to 3pm at the centre, in the grounds of Darlington Arts Centre, in Vane Terrace.
